Chapter 5-It Has to Happen Now (still Thursday, after school)

JT is walking Manny home. They are holding hands. They arrive at Manny's house.

"Well thanks for walking me home."

"No problem"

"I guess I will see you tomorrow night."

"Yeh, Well I better get home"

JT kisses Manny gently on the lips. Wow Manny thought. This is so romantic. Even though we haven't even been going out for a day I really feel a connection with him. Their lips separated slowly.

"Bye" he walked off.

She watched him until he disappeared in to the distance. She rushed inside to call Emma.

( Marco's walk home)

He ran all of his thoughts through his head. Why had he wrote it in his journal. No Marco don't blame it on yourself. Spinner should have minded his own business. But I still feel like its all my fault. And it feels like its my job to fix things . Marco arrived at his house and went inside. He thought for an hour as he laid across his bed. He grabbed the phone and called Ellie. He told her about what he and spinner had figured out on the computer and he thought it was his fault.

"Its not your fault"

"Well, it sure feels like it"

"What are you supossed to do. Spinner will figure something out. It's his fault."

"I am going to let everyone know its not true"

"How?"

"Come Out"

"Oh My Gosh. Are you sure your ready?"

"I mean might as well quit hiding it. It will get everything off my chest and Spinners reputation. I mean it will take a while for people to get used to it. In a year or so it will be no big deal. I've thought it over. Don't try to change my mind "

"How are you going to do it?"

"All I have to do is confront Paige and tell her that was my diary. She will let everyone she told the rumor to know what the real deal is. Word will get around and Spinners reputation will be cleared and everyone will know I am gay."

"Are you positive u want to do this?"

"Ellie, I'm going to have to do this sometime, Why not now. When my friend needs it the most."

" Sounds like you have planned way ahead of me. Well I guess you have made the decision and tomorrow's the big day"

"Yep, I will cya tomorrow.

"See Ya"

(Next Day) Outside before school

"Paige we need to talk"

"Hey Marco, okay shoot"

"There has been a huge misunderstanding. See you know that diary you read on Spinners computer. Well that was mine"

"Marco your gay?"

"Yes, and I am coming out all because of Spinners reputation. So anyone you told yesterday. Tell them it was my diary. Not Spinners"

He started to walk off

"Marco, I am sorry"

He turned around.

"You shouldn't have to do this its all because me being nosy."

"Don't worry about who's fault it is. I have made the decision to help mt friend and I'm asking you to support it"

He turned to walk away again.

"Marco, this is incredibly brave of you hun." she hugged him. "My brother went through the same thing, but he did it for himself. You are doing it to save another persons rep."

"Thanks"

Well. Soon enough word will get around.. but I will be okay, eventually. I am glad It is finally off my chest.
